<PAGE>

         NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto in consideration of the mutual
covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, agree as follows:

         1.       PURCHASE PRICE.

                  Seller shall sell to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from
Seller, the Premises at the price (the "Purchase Price") equal to (a)
Twenty-Nine Million Dollars ($29,000,000.00), less (b) the amount of any loan
assumption fee charged by Lender (hereinafter defined) (which amount shall not
exceed one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loans
(hereinafter defined)) (the "Loan Assumption Fee") in aggregate. The Purchase
Price shall be paid in full at the time of Closing. Buyer will deposit with
Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, National Commercial Services Office,
Troy, Michigan, as escrowee ("Escrowee"), the sum of One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000.00) ("Earnest Money") within three (3) business days after
Buyer's receipt of a fully executed original of this Agreement by both parties,
which amount will be refundable as provided herein, including pursuant to
Section 7(c) herein. Within three (3) business days after completion of the Due
Diligence Period (defined below), Buyer shall deposit an additional Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) in escrow, as additional Earnest Money hereunder,
or Seller shall have the option to terminate this Agreement. Thereafter, the
total One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) Earnest Money will become
non-refundable, except as set forth herein to the contrary, and said sum is for
the benefit of Buyer to be applied to the Purchase Price or credited to Buyer
when this transaction is consummated. The Earnest Money shall be deposited in a
government insured interest bearing account with all interest accruing to the
Buyer, so long as the Buyer does not default hereunder, using joint order escrow
instructions attached hereto as Exhibit H.

         2.       TRANSFER OF PREMISES; LOAN ASSUMPTION.

         A.       Seller agrees to convey to Buyer fee simple interest in the
Land and Buildings by recordable Special Warranty Deeds (the "Deeds")
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I. Personal Property shall
be transferred by Bills of Sale with special warranty, but without warranty of
quality, fitness or merchantability (the "Bills of Sale") substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit J. Seller's interest as Landlord under the
Leases, Contracts (hereafter defined) and Warranties will be conveyed by
Assignments and Assumption Agreements ("Assignments") substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit K. The Deeds will be subject only to: (i) general
taxes for the year 2003 or the year of closing and subsequent years which are
not yet due and payable; (ii) acts done or suffered by Buyer and (iii) the
Permitted Exceptions (hereinafter defined). The Deeds, Assignments and Bills of
Sale are collectively referred to herein as the "Conveyance Documents."

         B.       Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that the Premises are
all encumbered by mortgages to Wells Fargo Bank, as the successor to Broomfield
Acceptance Company, L.L.C. ("Lender") which secure two promissory notes
delivered from Seller to Lender (the "Loans"). Seller represents that the
current principal amount outstanding to Lender is approximately Nineteen Million
Nine Hundred Twenty One Thousand One Hundred Forty Two and 91/100
($19,921,142.91), which amount is the total of Seventeen Million Sixteen
Thousand One Hundred Sixty Eight and 99/100 Dollars ($17,016,168.99) owed
pursuant to the original note and

                                       2

<PAGE>

Two Million Nine Hundred Four Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy Three and 92/100
Dollars ($2,904,973.92) owed pursuant to a second note (collectively, the
"Outstanding Indebtedness"). As a condition precedent to Closing, Seller, Buyer
and Lender shall have entered into an assignment and assumption agreement in
form and content reasonably acceptable to Seller, Buyer and the parties to the
financing, pursuant to which Buyer shall assume the Outstanding Indebtedness and
all obligations of Seller under the Broomfield Portfolio Loan financing
documents described in Exhibit K attached hereto (the "Loan Assumption"). Seller
agrees to authorize Lender to allow Buyer full access to all loan information,
and Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to meet with the Lender to negotiate the Loan
Assumption, provided that the terms of said Loan Assumption are consistent
herewith. Buyer and Seller shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith with
respect to any documents related to the Loan Assumption, which shall contain a
full release of Seller of all obligations related to the Outstanding
Indebtedness, including without limitation a release of Malan Realty Investors,
Inc. from any guaranty of the Outstanding Indebtedness. Buyer agrees that it
will pay all fees and expenses charged by Lender in conjunction with the Loan
Assumption (including without limitation Lender's legal fees and expenses). In
the event that Lender does not approve the Loan Assumption by Buyer on terms
which are reasonably acceptable to Buyer, either Buyer or Seller may terminate
this Agreement, and Buyer shall be entitled to the return of all Earnest Money.

         3.       TITLE INSURANCE.

                  Within thirty (30) days, or as soon thereafter as is
reasonably possible after the execution of this Agreement, Seller, at Seller's
sole expense, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer or Buyer's Agent,
existing surveys of all properties comprising the Premises together with current
title insurance commitments in favor of Buyer (ALTA Form B or comparable form
acceptable to Buyer) ("Title Commitments(s)") and copies of all exception
documents described therein, issued by Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company
(the "Title Company"), covering the date hereof, showing good and marketable
title to the Land and Buildings vested in Seller subject only to the matters
described in the Title Commitments. Seller shall within twenty (20) days or as
soon thereafter as reasonably possible deliver to Buyer its most current
ALTA/ACSM surveys of the Premises. Buyer shall be responsible for any further
updates to the surveys and certifications of the surveys to Buyer and Lender, at
Buyer's sole cost and expense. Within twenty-five (25) days after the later of
(a) receipt of the Title Commitments and the existing surveys from Seller or (b)
the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall notify Seller of any defects in title or
other objections to matters disclosed in the Title Commitment or Survey,
provided however, in the event any new survey reveals matters not previously
disclosed in the existing surveys, then Buyer shall have ten (10) days after
receipt of the new survey to notify Seller of said objections or defects. Upon
receipt of Buyer's notice of defects or objections in title and/or survey Seller
shall have until closing within which to cure such defects and to furnish an
updated Title Commitment or pro forma title policy showing such defects cured or
removed (with any matters insured over being disclosed to Buyer). If such
defects in title-cannot be cured on or before Closing, after using due diligence
and good faith, reasonable efforts by Seller, Buyer, at Buyer's election, may
(i) terminate this Agreement, or (ii) take the title as it then exists (with the
right to deduct from the Purchase Price liens or encumbrances of a definite or
ascertainable amount other than liens related to the Outstanding Indebtedness).
Any Title objections or exceptions that are raised by Buyer that are monetary in
nature and are susceptible to being cured by the payment of monies or by bonding
over shall be cured by Seller at or prior

                                       3

<PAGE>

 to Closing, other than the Outstanding Indebtedness. To the extent that the
 Company agrees to issue a title policy to Buyer without reference to such
 exception, such item shall be deemed cured for purposes hereof. If this
 Agreement shall be terminated during the Due Diligence Period (hereinafter
 defined), the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer. Any title or survey
 matter to which Buyer does not timely object, or if Buyer waives its objections
 to such matters, shall be deemed a "Permitted Exception" and Buyer shall take
 title subject to all Permitted Exceptions. Immediately prior to closing, the
 Title Company shall issue to Buyer an updated title commitment or a pro-forma
 title policy which shall reflect all Permitted Exceptions.

         Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause to be delivered to
 Buyer or Buyer's Agent, final owner's title insurance policies acceptable to
 Buyer with normal and customary endorsements for each property conveyed, issued
 by the Title Company, in the amount of the Purchase Price (as allocated by
 property as acceptable to Buyer) dated as of recording of the deeds. Such
 policies of title insurance shall indicate that clear and merchantable title,
 as defined in Sections 2 and 3 above, has been transferred to Buyer.
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, all costs related to extended coverage or any
 endorsements to such policies shall be borne by Buyer.

         4.       DEFAULT.

                  If Seller defaults hereunder and fails to cure said default
within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice hereof from Buyer (or
within two (2) business days after receipt of written notice, if such default
relates to the obligation to close on the Closing Date), Buyer may, at Buyer's
option, either (a) terminate this Agreement, and receive a return of the Earnest
Money and any interest accruing thereon or (b) sue Seller for specific
performance and enforce the terms of this Contract, which Buyer agrees shall be
its sole and exclusive remedies in the event of Seller's default hereunder. If
Buyer defaults hereunder and fails to cure said default within thirty (30) days
after receipt of written notice thereof from Seller (or within two (2) business
days after receipt of written notice, if such default relates to the obligation
to close on the Closing Date), then the Earnest Money shall be forfeited as
liquidated damages as Seller's sole legal and equitable remedy, it being agreed
by the parties hereto that damages would be difficult if not impossible to
ascertain. In the event either party hires an attorney in connection with
enforcing its rights and remedies or in defending a claim by the other party in
a legal proceeding or otherwise, the non-prevailing party shall pay the
reasonable attorney's fees and expenses incurred by the prevailing party.

         5.       CLOSING DATE.

                  The date of Closing, unless otherwise agreed by the parties,
shall occur on or before February 16, 2004 ("Closing Date"), at such location
and time as is mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer; provided, however, that
either Purchaser or Seller may, by written notice to the other, extend the
Closing Date for up to sixty (60) days if reasonably necessary to facilitate the
Loan Assumption.

         6.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

         A.       Seller covenants, warrants and represents to Buyer that:

                                       4

                                    constitutes the valid, legally binding
                                    obligation of Seller.

         13.      ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS.

                  Adjustments and prorations with respect to the Premises shall
be computed and determined between the parties as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing
Date as follows:

         A.       All real estate taxes and assessments, levied or assessed on
or against the Premises shall be prorated on an accrual basis as of the Closing
Date, it being the intent of the parties that neither party shall receive a
windfall. At the Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase
Price equal to all accrued and unpaid taxes and assessments attributable to a
period through the Closing Date (including, without limitation, all taxes and
assessments attributable to the year prior to the Closing but not payable until
after the Closing and all taxes and assessments attributable to the year in
which the Closing occurs but not payable until the following year), less
deposits paid by tenants (to the extent transferred to Buyer). The credit for
accrued taxes and assessments for which bills have not been issued as of the
Closing Date shall be based on the then most recent taxes and assessments. Buyer
agrees to reimburse Seller its pro rata share of taxes recovered from the
tenants under the Leases relating to any period prior to the Closing Date, as
and when Buyer actually collects such taxes from tenants, and Buyer agrees that
it will use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such amounts. All taxes
imposed due to a change of use of the Property after the Closing Date shall be
paid by the Buyer. If any taxes which have been apportioned shall subsequently
be reduced by abatement, the amount of such abatement, less the cost of
obtaining the same and after deduction of sums payable to tenants under Leases
or expired or terminated Leases, shall be equitably apportioned between the
parties hereto.

         B.       All rent, fees, charges, reimbursements, and other income and
charges due under the Leases, and any and all other income, profits, or revenue
arising out of the Premises ("Income") and received by the Seller on or before
Closing shall be prorated as of the Closing

                                       15

<PAGE>

Date with Seller receiving all income accruing through and including the day of
Closing. The parties agree to equitably and in good faith prorate and apportion
all Income, including without limitation percentage rent and tax reimbursements
that accrue prior to Closing but are not received by Seller as of the Closing
Date with Buyer remitting Seller's share to Seller within five (5) business days
of receipt. Provided, however, rent and other charges that are past due as of
Closing shall not be prorated on the settlement statement and any such amounts
collected by Buyer after Closing shall be first applied to amounts owed to Buyer
at the time of receipt, and any excess shall be remitted to Seller for payment
of such past due amounts which accrued prior to closing. Buyer shall not be
required to take any action to collect past due Income from tenants on Seller's
behalf, but if such amounts remain past due for sixty (60) days or more, Seller
shall be entitled to pursue legal action against such tenants at Seller's sole
cost and on Seller's behalf (and not as an agent of Buyer); provided Seller
shall not be entitled to pursue any remedy which results in tenant termination
or tenant eviction. Seller shall protect, indemnify, defend and hold Buyer
harmless for, from and against any and all damages, losses, or liabilities
arising out of claims and counterclaims pursued by such tenants in connection
with the legal action by Seller. With respect to percentage rent, if a portion
of the sales on which such percentage rent is based accrued prior to the Closing
Date, then for each such tenant, the percentage rent paid by such tenant and
collected by Buyer shall be prorated and adjusted when such percentage rent is
received by Buyer.

         C.       On the Closing Date, Seller will deliver to Buyer in cash, as
a credit against the Purchase Price or as an adjustment to the prorations
provided for elsewhere in this Section 13, as appropriate, an amount equal to
all security deposits made by tenants occupying the Premises which were paid to
Seller by such tenants and which have not been applied by Seller pursuant to the
Leases, together with interest owing thereon pursuant to the applicable Lease,
if any, and together with a listing of the tenants as to which such deposits and
interest being held.

         D.       All amounts payable, owing or incurred in connection with the
Premises under the Contracts to be assumed by Buyer shall be prorated as of the
Closing Date.

         E.       All costs and expenses with respect to the Premises, to the
extent Seller is required to pay such expenses pursuant to the Leases, (the
"Expenses"), shall be equitably and in good faith prorated as of the Closing
Date. Any Expenses which are prepaid as of the Closing Date shall be credited to
Seller. Buyer shall be responsible to pay Expenses accruing subsequent to the
Closing Date. Seller shall receive a credit at Closing to the extent Seller has
incurred any expenses for insurance or for maintaining the common areas, if such
expenses may be passes through to the tenants, but have not been reconciled;
provided, however, that Seller must provide Buyer with reasonable documentation
of such expenses, and management fees may be included only to the extent that
they are out-of-pocket expenses paid by Seller to an unaffiliated third party.
To the extent the Expenses can accurately be prorated on the Closing Date such
Expenses shall be prorated at the Closing. To the extent such Expenses cannot
accurately be prorated on the Closing Date (e.g., utility charges), such
Expenses shall be prorated and adjusted by Buyer as of the Closing Date when the
actual bills covering the period in which the closing Date occurs are received
by Buyer. Seller shall pay its share of such Expenses promptly upon receipt of a
statement from Buyer. Buyer shall have the right to offset Seller's share of
such Expenses against any income due Seller.

                                       16

<PAGE>

         F.       The Earnest Money shall be paid to Seller at Closing, and
Buyer shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount
thereof.

         G.       Seller shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of all
escrows and reserves being held by Lender pursuant to the Loans. Interest on the
Loans shall be prorted at Closing. Seller shall be responsible for all payments
on the Loans being timely made prior to the Closing Date.

         H.       All other items which are customarily prorated in transactions
similar to the transaction contemplated hereunder and which are not otherwise
addressed in this Agreement, will be prorated as of the Closing Date. In the
event any prorations or computations made under this Section 13 are based on
estimates or prove to be incorrect, then either party shall be entitled to an
adjustment to correct the same, provided that it makes written demand on the
party from whom it is entitled to such adjustment within six (6) months after
the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs. For purposes of
calculating the prorations provided for in this Agreement, Buyer shall be deemed
to be the owner of the Premises on the Closing Date.

         I.       Buyer shall notify Seller as to which of the Contracts it
desires to assume at Closing and which Contracts Buyer desires Seller to cancel
on or prior to the Closing Date by giving Seller written notice thereof no later
than the earlier of (a) the final day of the Due Diligence Period or (b) if any
Contract which Buyer desires Seller to terminate, by its terms, requires a
thirty-day notice period prior to termination, at least thirty-three (33) days
prior to the Closing Date. For any Contract which Buyer requests Seller to
terminate which requires a longer period than thirty-day's notice to terminate,
Seller will send a notice of termination within a reasonable time following
receipt of Buyer's request; however, Buyer shall be responsible for any
termination fees or other costs related to such termination; and Buyer shall be
assigned and shall assume said Contract at Closing.

         14.      LEASING COSTS, MANAGEMENT FEES AND EMPLOYEES.

                  Seller agrees to pay or discharge at or prior to Closing all
leasing commissions (including renewals), costs for tenant improvements, legal
fees and other costs and expenses (collectively, "Leasing Costs") with respect
to Leases in force as of or prior to execution of this Agreement. On the Closing
Date, Seller shall deliver evidence satisfactory to Buyer that, unless expressly
assumed by Buyer in writing, that all current management or leasing agreements
for the Premises have been terminated and that any managers and any brokers have
been paid all commissions or fees due and payable, except as provided in Section
15 hereof. Buyer is not required to continue the employment of any employees of
Seller or any property manager after the Closing Date. Seller shall satisfy all
obligations to all employees, if any, employed by Seller or otherwise in the
operation of the Premises and provide Buyer with evidence thereof satisfactory
to Buyer on the Closing Date.

         15.      BROKERS.

                  It is agreed that any and all commissions are to be the sole
responsibility of the Seller. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, each party
represents and covenants to the other that it has not dealt with any agent or
broker in connection with this transaction, except for CB Richard

                                       17

<PAGE>

Ellis and AW Glen, Inc. and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other from
any and all loss, costs or expenses from any claim made for commission in
contravention of the representations and covenants set forth in this paragraph.

         16.      TIME OF THE ESSENCE.

                  It is agreed by all parties that time is of the essence in
respect to this Agreement and that failure of either Seller or Buyer to adhere
to the time schedules as set forth herein shall constitute a default by that
party to be treated in accordance with the terms as set forth in Section 4
above.

         17.      SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

                  This Agreement and all provisions hereof shall extend to, be
obligatory upon and inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, legatees,
successors and assigns of the parties hereto. As to each property comprising the
Premises, Buyer shall have the right to assign its interest in this Agreement to
one or more third parties (up to one assignee per property) upon written notice
to Seller, provided Buyer shall remain liable for all obligations of Buyer
hereunder.

         18.      LEGAL COSTS.

                  If either party institutes a legal action against the other
relating to this Agreement or any default hereunder, the unsuccessful party to
such action will reimburse the successful party for the reasonable expenses of
prosecuting or defending such action, including without limitation reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements and court costs. The obligations under this
Section 19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

         19.      CONSTRUCTION.

                  This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against
one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that the Agreement
may have been prepared primarily by counsel for one of the parties, it being
recognized that both Buyer and Seller have contributed substantially and
materially to the preparation to this Agreement.

         20.      FACSIMILE.

                  A facsimile or photocopy signature of this Agreement, any
amendment hereto or any notice delivered hereunder shall have the same legal
effect as an original signature.

         21.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

                  This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the
parties and shall not be amended, modified or changed except by written
instrument executed by the party against whom such change is binding. The terms
set forth in the Letter of Intent and Confidentiality Agreement heretofore
entered into by the parties are merged into this Agreement and are thereby
extinguished.

thereof to any persons or circumstances shall, to any extent, be deemed invalid
or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such
provisions to persons or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it
is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby.

         NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and

agree as follows:

         1.       Assignor hereby sells, transfers, conveys, assigns and sets
